“Afterward go and celebrate because of all the good things the Lord your God has given to you and your household. \u00a0Remember to include the Levites and the foreigners living among you in the celebration.”\u00a0 (Deuteronomy 26:11 NLT).<\/p>\n
Go ahead, plan a party!<\/p>\n
Purchase the decorations. \u00a0Print off some great invitations. \u00a0Blow up the balloons. \u00a0Bake up some of your favorite party foods.<\/p>\n
Do whatever it takes to get a real shindig in order. \u00a0A grand ball. \u00a0A huge celebration. \u00a0A real wing-ding.<\/p>\n
The guest list? \u00a0Family. \u00a0Church friends. \u00a0Prayer partners. \u00a0Your unsaved friends, especially those you’ve been witnessing to.<\/p>\n
When will you have this party of all parties?<\/p>\n
When you arrive in the Promised Land. \u00a0When God answers your prayers, of course. \u00a0On the other side of the valley. \u00a0When you reach the mountaintop. \u00a0When the rainbow shines in the sky. \u00a0When the prodigal returns. \u00a0When the habit no longer has a hold on you. \u00a0When the unsaved are marked off your prayer list. \u00a0When the answer comes. \u00a0When His promise is fulfilled.<\/p>\n
Go ahead and start planning your party. \u00a0Let your friends know they’ll need to keep their calendars open. \u00a0Buy a package of balloons. \u00a0Do whatever it takes to remind yourself that He is going to answer; He is going to provide; He is going to give you plenty of reasons to celebrate.<\/p>\n
